Pilgrim's Rest, also known as Belle Mont Grove and Mount Wesley, is a historic home and national historic district located near Nokesville, Prince William County, Virginia. It dates to the 18th century, and is a 2+1⁄2-story, three-bay, Tidewater style, frame dwelling with a double-pile, side hall plan. It has a one-story, gable-roofed, rebuilt kitchen and dining addition dated to 1956, when the house was remodeled. The house features a pair of unusual exterior brick chimneys on the south end with a two-story pent closet. Also included in the district are a late-19th century frame granary / barn, a frame, gable-roofed tool shed, and an icehouse constructed of concrete block with a metal gable roof. In 1996–1998, the Kinsley Granary was moved from the Buckland area of Prince William County, and is a 2+1⁄2-story stone structure that was rebuilt as a guest house.[3][4]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, with a boundary increase in 2004.[1]
